{"product_id":"sins-of-the-mother","title":"Sins Of The Mother","description":"Description for SINS OF THE MOTHER by Cheryl Saban: \u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nSINS OF THE MOTHER introduces Alison Young, a smart, savvy, self-made woman, the publisher of a popular national magazine base in San Francisco.  Married to a loving man with whom she raised a talented and beautiful daughter, Alison's life is everything she's ever wanted it to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nWhen her daughter nears the volatile age of eighteen with dreams of a singing career, Alison's carefully organized existence begins to unravel at the seams.  And only she knows why.  Her life is built on a lie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nFor eighteen years, Alison has kept a secret about herself from everyone she loves.  A secret so devastating, it could destroy everything she's worked to achieve.  A secret that has caused her to be more protective of her daughter than most mothers today.  A protectiveness that comes from the worst kind of knowledge.  Experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nAlison was the victim of a violent rape---and her daughter Destiny is the result of that attack.  No one believed her side of the story when it happened.  Not able to bring the man to trial or to obtain a legal abortion, Alison fled her hometown and reinvented her past.  She recreated herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nNow, Country Davis---rapist, convicted felon, and career criminal---is being released from Folsom Prison.  Unrepentant for the horror he inflicted years earlier on the young Alison, he heads for San Francisco to claim his rightful place beside the woman and child he calls family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nThe walls close in on Alison as she realizes she must risk abandonment by her husband and the bitter disappointment of her only child, for she must tell her family the truth before they find out from someone else.  As in her past, it seems that no one will stand by her as she battles a demonically clever and dangerous adversary.  But this time is different.  Alsion's fighting for her future, stronger and wiser than before---and she's not alone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connies Bookshelf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42954872094936,"sku":"9780787112684","price":2.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/9099\/4904\/products\/SinsOfTheMother.jpg?v=1654997793","url":"https:\/\/conniesbookshelf.com\/products\/sins-of-the-mother","provider":"Connies Bookshelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
